Revised Program Proposal Information

Department: PER Program: Physical Education (Teaching)

A. Statement of major focus and objectives of the revised program:

The major focus of the revision is two fold: (1) eliminate redundancy in the activity core requirements and (2) improve our ability to prepare students to teach at the middle/secondary levels. This is best accomplished by dropping an activity core in favor of a new methods course aimed at providing “hands on” teaching opportunities at the middle/secondary levels. The current program only has a methods course at the elementary level. This change will also be in line with the recommendations from the Minnesota Board of Teaching (BOT).
